[QUOTE="Mont, post: 613398, member: 27723"] Thanks for the advice. I'd left it for a couple of weeks to get on with other things, but got back to the handle today. I tried the sacrificial screw and banged it with a mallet but it still wouldn't budge. I ended up cutting the shaft of the handle off with a hacksaw. I was pretty happy that it was finally off but unfortunately previous prying at the latch mechanism seems to have damaged the internals of it :cry: Can the latches be sent anywhere for repair? It would seem to be a mechanism for an 8/67-7/70 van. [/QUOTE]
